Happy Birthday, Hubby!

Besides being Super Bowl Sunday it's my Hubby's B'Day. I made this card for him.

As you've probably guessed, golf is his favorite sport (next to Red Sox Baseball). It's been too cold, wet, or snowy for him to play this winter, so he is anxiously awaiting warm weather.

Every time I show Hubby a card that I've made, he opens it up to see what's inside. Most of the time there's nothing inside! LOL  I thought I would type up something and surprise him...then write a personal message below.  Everything is from my stash. I ripped the map DP and distressed it with ink. Then I stitched it to the card and crumpled the edges a little. The images were freebies on someone's blog. I can't remember where...If someone knows, I'll be glad to post credit.

CHALLENGES:
Paper Play- Stamp It Out  (Thurs.)

S2G New Release and a GREEN Twist!

Today is the first release day of our new "Alice in Wonderland" digis! Today's image is

"Alice Going Down the Hole"!

Judy and Jane have cards to share with you today using this image. Check out their blogs and leave them some love! Each day through March 10, the DT will be spotlighting a new digi. Two of us will have actual cards to spark your imagination and creativity. The rest of the DT will be showing you a watermarked image. Of course, when purchased, you will receive an image without a watermark. (But you knew that!) The new digis are for sale and in the Shop now!

We also have a Twisted Thursday Challenge for you! The twist is to make a card and use the color GREEN!

This is a "spring" card that I made for S2G's recent Digi Day. This is the first time it has been posted on my blog. I used the "Number One" FREE digi from the S2G Group at SNR Card Universe. DP and favor tokens are from the Birthday Bash Release and are available in the S2G Shop. If you haven't joined SNR, now is your chance! As we get new members we get more free digis!

I hope you'll join us in this week's GREEN Challenge. Post a direct link to your card using Mr. Linky on the S2G Challenge Blog. We look forward to seeing your creations!

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow. We'll have another new release to spotlight!

S2G Twisted Thursday Birthday Bash Continues!

This is the last week of S2G's First month long Birthday Bash! I hope you have enjoyed our celebration, and that you will participate in this week's Twisted Thursday Challenge. The Challenge is to make a card and use HOT PINK...anything HOT PINK.. ribbon, DP, CS, etc. Be creative! The DT was given a Crown template and the new Birthday Icon digis for this project. Two sisters, Deidre and Kristine, own Shirley's 2 Girls, so I made two crowns. Here is the first:

I embossed the crown in a Provo Craft folder, and cut the hearts and circles using Nesties and Creative Memories Heart punches. DP is from the new Birthday line of papers from S2G. I glued a plastic headband that I bought at Dollar General (6/$1) to the back of the crown using Fabri-Tac glue. The headband makes the crown more durable and comfortable to wear. I know, because I tried it out! :D

I used more S2G Birthday icons on this crown along with Birthday DP from S2G. The small stars were cut with Creative Memories Star punches. I added sequins and rhinestones for bling.

Every designer needs a model and here is mine: Snowbella! Isn't she lovely! She is a Snow Lady with Attitude!

Who says you can't mix snow sculpting and papercrafting? LOL We have had so much snow this winter, and finally got snow that "sticks"!.... Perfect for Snowgirl building. I couldn't let all of that snow go to waste, could I?

I hope you'll join us in this week's TT Challenge! I'd love to see what you create using HOT PINK. Upload your project using Mr. Linky at the S2G Challenge Blog. You can win your choice of a free digi from the S2G Shop and a Winner's Badge for your blog! Need inspiration? Check out the fun and creative projects our DT has created! A lot of "Party Animals" were great models for their crowns!  :D Their links are in my sidebar. Be sure to enter! You only need to make a card for this week's TT challenge, but if you are inspired to make a crown, the template is below. Be sure to use HOT PINK, a little or a lot!
